    Ep. 058 - Navigating Calling, Vocation, and Purpose in Every Season with Jeff Haanen

    In this episode we discuss the concept of calling and vocation with Jeff Haanen. Building on our previous conversation on identity, rest, and sabbatical, Jeff shares valuable insights into how we discern God's voice and purpose in different life stages, from work to retirement. We examine how calling isn’t just about finding the “perfect job” but about living a life responsive to God’s guidance. We also explore the importance of intergenerational friendships, re-engagement after retirement, and viewing life’s challenges as integral to our calling. Whether you’re approaching retirement or seeking meaning in your current work, Jeff’s wisdom offers practical guidance for aligning with your unique path.
